Call it what it is: killed NOT euthanized
I attended a presentation about stopping the killing of cats (and dogs) in
animal control facilities. He emphasised that you euthanize an animal that is SICK. What is happening in shelters all over is they are KILLING perfectly fine animals because they are unwanted, often due to the failure to spay and neuter their parents. The general public sees 'euthanized' and it softens what is happening in their minds. I see postings that say you adopted the day before the animal was due to be euthanized. Tell people you adopted just before the animal was due to be KILLED. It may seem a small thing, but when you talk to people it may help their awareness of the problem. Every day 10,000 human babies are born 70,000 kittens and puppies are born If every infant when home with a kitten or puppy there would still be 60,000 left to find homes. Most of them never will. -- Joe http://www.jwpitt.com/cats.htm Cat Rescue http://www.animalrescuefoundation.com God created the cat so man could have the pleasure of petting the tiger |
